    Bonding A Level

    Ionic bonding occurs between metals and nonmetals with large electronegativity differences, resulting in electrostatic attraction between oppositely charged ions. Covalent bonding occurs between nonmetals with small electronegativity differences, forming shared pairs of electrons in either molecular bonds or macro-molecular structures like diamond and graphite. Metallic bonding occurs between positive metal ions and delocalized electrons in metals.
